Beyond appeals
WHAT DOES FTS ALLOW YOU TO DO?
Monitor funding status of any appeal: per organization,
per sector/cluster, per priority, location, and project – thus
highlighting funding gaps.
Monitor humanitarian funding outside the appeal,
identify donors and recipient organizations for activities not
included in the appeal.
WHAT DOES FTS ALLOW YOU TO DO?
Donor profiles – quick overviews of humanitarian funding
by any given donor to a specific country or globally.
Analyze funding trends – global trends by donor, sector,
emergency or recipient agency.
HOW FTS CAN HELP YOU
Facilitate advocacy efforts: by identifying areas with the greatest
resource needs, highlighting neglected emergencies, under-funded
organizations, sectors/clusters, and locations in country.
Better targeted fundraising: FTS also allows you to see which
donors are funding what. By analyzing donor interests and funding
trends you can better target your fundraising efforts.
Save staff time: by providing information and analysis at your
fingertips.
HOW FTS CAN HELP YOU
Coordination: offering information at a glance on which
implementing organizations and donors are working in which
emergencies, sectors, and locations, and to what scale.
CAP/Flash Appeal visibility: FTS helps to draw attention
to humanitarian needs and the funding requirements of
implementing organizations. FTS provides visibility for your
projects by showing both the funding requirements and the
project description online.
